Extremist Movie Debate: Miss Congeniality

In Extremist Movie Debate, Garick and Joe’s true feelings about the movie do not matter. They flip a coin to decide who loves it and who hates it. They then debate it on the fly. This episode? Miss Congeniality

Joe and guest-debater Garick look back to the 2000 comedy, Miss Congeniality (streaming on Netflix now). Garick thinks this was a great introduction to Sandra Bullock’s comedic career, and the connection the audience feels towards her character creates high rewatch value. Joe thinks the filmmakers made a misstep when they made the focal point of Bullock’s character about becoming outwardly beautiful, and in doing so contradicted the message they were attempting. Unpaid Intern Jeff moderates.

Movie reviews without a middle ground. Based on a coin toss, Ethan and Joe have to either love it or hate it and then debate it, regardless of their actual feelings. Moderated by their unpaid intern, Jeff.
